Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of virtual reality technology, and in particular to a method and device for determining a beam monitoring object. Background Art

[0002] In the fifth generation of mobile communication technology (5G), a large-scale antenna array is used on the 5G base station side, and a directional beam is formed through beamforming technology for communication. In order to ensure sufficient signal gain in the end, the base station needs to use a large number of narrow beams to ensure that users in any direction within the cell can be effectively covered, that is, the narrower the beam, the greater the signal gain. However, the use of narrow beam transmission is sensitive to user device movement and beam link blocking, especially in high frequencies, where the blocking phenomenon is more serious and often causes beam link failure. Therefore, when the wireless channel changes due to the above reasons, the terminal in the communication system needs to quickly switch and recover the beam link with the base station through beam recovery technology to provide a good user experience.

[0003] Existing beam recovery technology uses beam monitoring to determine beam failure. The object of beam monitoring is generally the reference signal corresponding to the control channel beam. However, the control channel beam often changes, the bandwidth part (BWP) where the control channel is located also dynamically jumps, and the reference signal corresponding to the control channel beam includes a non-periodic reference signal, which does not persist. In other words, there is a lot of uncertainty in the reference signal corresponding to the control channel beam, which makes beam monitoring very difficult. Summary of the invention

[0074] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0075] At present, the existing beam recovery technology mainly includes the following steps:

[0076] Beam monitoring: mainly for beam failure judgment. The monitoring process mainly uses reference signals to judge beam failure. The monitored object is generally a reference signal, such as a CSI-RS signal or a SS signal.

[0077] Beam selection: Select a new beam to reestablish the transmission link. When a beam fails, the terminal needs to try to select a new beam that meets the conditions from a set of configured reference signals. The reference signal receiving power (RSRP) is generally used as the basis for beam selection.

[0078] Information reporting: reporting beam recovery related information, such as terminal indication information, beam indication information, etc. If the beam fails and a new beam can be selected, the terminal needs to report information to allow the base station to obtain the terminal ID information and new beam information.

[0079] Downlink Control Information (DCI) detection: DCI is detected on the control channel. The terminal needs to detect DCI on a new control channel pre-configured for beam recovery, which is sent using the reported beam.

[0080] It can be found that the existing beam recovery process has the following problems:

[0081] Problem 1: There is no good solution for determining the object of beam monitoring. Generally speaking, the monitoring object needs to be the reference signal corresponding to the control channel beam, but the control channel beam often changes. The BWP where the control channel is located will also dynamically jump. In addition, the control channel beam may refer to a non-periodic reference signal, such as AP CSI-RS, which does not persist, so it is difficult to use it for beam monitoring.

[0082] Question 2: Beam recovery may be used in BWP switching scenarios. Currently, beam recovery and BWP may cause conflicts and fail to work properly.

[0083] Question 3: Beam recovery may occur when the UE sends an SR. In this case, both the SR and beam recovery information need to be sent using PRACH resources, which may cause a conflict.

[0084] In order to solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide the following method to improve the reliability of beam monitoring.

[0085] Embodiment 1

[0086] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for determining a beam monitoring object, including:

[0087] Step 101: Determine the transmission configuration indication TCI (Transmission Configuration Indication) information of the control channel;

[0088] Generally speaking, TCI information is configured through high-level signaling or media access control layer (MAC, Media Access Control) signaling. TCI is mainly used to indicate some transmission-related parameters, such as quasi-co-located QCL parameters.

[0089] Step 102: Determine a reference signal set q1 according to the transmission configuration indication information, where q1 includes reference signals used to indicate spatial parameters;

[0090] It should be noted that the QCL parameters include QCL indications about spatial parameters. Spatial parameters are generally implicit representations of transmission beams, which indicate one or a group of reference signals that are relatively close to the spatial parameters of the control channel. Only when the control channel and the pointed reference signal are sent using the same or similar beams, there may be a QCL relationship about the spatial parameters. Therefore, the beam indication may not be directly reflected as a beam ID indication, but rather as a QCL indication about the spatial parameters.

[0091] Step 103: Determine the beam monitoring reference signal set q2 according to the type of the reference signal.

[0092] In this way, it is clarified that the TCI information indicates the beam monitoring object when the object is a non-periodic / semi-continuous reference signal.

[0093] Optionally, step 103 includes: if the type of the reference signal is a periodic signal, determining the beam monitoring reference signal set q2 according to q1; if the type of the reference signal is a non-periodic signal, determining q2 according to at least one of the following methods: q2 is a pre-set beam monitoring reference signal set; or, obtaining quasi-co-position information of the non-periodic reference signal, and obtaining the corresponding periodic reference signal set q3 based on the quasi-co-position information, and determining q2 based on q3, where q2 is a subset of q3.

[0094] Optionally, if the type of the reference signal is a periodic signal, the beam monitoring reference signal set q2 is determined based on q1, including: if the type of the reference signal is a periodic signal, q2 is a subset of q1.

[0095] Optionally, if the type of the reference signal is a non-periodic signal, q2 is a preset beam monitoring reference signal set, including: if the type of the reference signal is a non-periodic signal, q2 is an empty set.

[0096] It should be noted that when determining the beam monitoring reference signal set q2 for the semi-persistent reference signal, a selection may be made as needed. For example, the semi-persistent reference signal may use the same method as the non-periodic reference signal to determine the beam monitoring reference signal set q2. Of course, the semi-persistent reference signal may also use the same method as the periodic reference signal to determine the beam monitoring reference signal set q2 during transmission, and the semi-persistent reference signal may use the same method as the non-periodic reference signal to determine the beam monitoring reference signal set q2 after the transmission is completed. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not specifically limit this.

[0097] Embodiment 2

[0098] like Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for determining a beam monitoring object, including:

[0099] Step 201: Obtain a preset beam monitoring reference signal set q4;

[0100] Step 202: Determine transmission configuration indication information of the control channel to be detected;

[0101] Step 203: Determine a reference signal set q1 according to the transmission configuration indication information, where q1 includes reference signals used to indicate spatial parameters;

[0102] Step 204: Set the intersection of q4 and q1 or a subset of the intersection as the beam monitoring reference signal set q2.

[0103] It can be understood that, since non-periodic reference signals may be excluded, the beam monitoring reference signal set q2 may also be set to a subset of the intersection of q4 and q1.

[0104] Optionally, if q4 and q1 do not have an intersection, then q2 is q1, or a subset of q1, or an empty set.

[0105] It is understandable that q2 may be a subset of q1 since the non-periodic reference signal may be excluded.

[0106] Further, the configurable range of the TCI state is determined according to q3.

[0107] It should be noted that by determining the configurable range of the TCI state according to q3, it can be ensured that there is definitely an intersection.

[0108] Embodiment 3

[0109] like Figure 3 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a configuration method, including:

[0110] Step 301: Determine the corresponding indicator reference signal in the TCI state candidate set of the control channel;

[0111] The indication reference signal corresponds to the spatial parameter of the state in the TCI state candidate set.

[0112] Step 302: Determine the type of the indication reference signal;

[0113] Step 303: Determine whether the type of the indication reference signal includes a non-periodic reference signal;

[0114] Step 304: If the judgment result is yes, the base station configures the beam monitoring reference signal set q2 used when the TCI points to the non-periodic reference signal.

[0115] Embodiment 4

[0116] like Figure 4As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another configuration method, including:

[0117] Step 401: The base station configures a TCI state candidate set of a control channel;

[0118] Step 402: Determine whether the indicator reference signal corresponding to the TCI state candidate set can be a non-periodic reference signal according to a judgment condition.

[0119] Specifically, the judgment conditions include: if the base station is configured with a beam monitoring reference signal set q2 for use when TCI points to a non-periodic reference signal, the reference signal indicating the spatial parameter corresponding to the TCI state in the set may be a non-periodic reference signal; if the base station is not configured with a beam monitoring reference signal set q2 for use when TCI points to a non-periodic reference signal, the reference signal indicating the spatial parameter corresponding to the TCI state in the set may not be a non-periodic reference signal.

[0120] In this way, the problem of unclear monitoring object when the non-periodic reference signal is used for spatial parameter indication can be avoided.

[0121] Embodiment 5

[0122] like Figure 5 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a beam monitoring method, including:

[0123] Step 501: Acquire state information of the beam recovery process;

[0124] Step 502: setting bandwidth sub-segment switching time parameters according to the state information of the beam recovery process;

[0125] Step 503: Determine whether to communicate through the default bandwidth sub-segment according to the bandwidth sub-segment switching time parameter.

[0126] Among them, BWP divides the bandwidth of the communication carrier into multiple segments, each of which is called a BWP and can be divided by the base station configuration. Generally speaking, a default BWP is set; when a non-default BWP is activated, a timer or counter is started. When the timer times out or the counter exceeds the specified number of times, it will fall back to the default BWP. This timer is generally used to count the duration of time when no control information is received on the activated BWP, and can also be replaced by a counter. For example, it represents the number of time slots in which DCI is not received continuously. When the duration or number of time slots configured by the base station is reached, the terminal will fall back to the default BWP for communication. However, during beam recovery, this fallback may interrupt the beam recovery process, causing disorder in the process, reducing the impact of beam recovery on BWP switching.

[0127] In this way, the monitoring object when BWP or TCI is dynamically switched is clarified.

[0128] Optionally, step 502 includes: setting a timer or a counter corresponding to the BWP switching time parameter according to the state information of the beam recovery process.

[0129] It should be noted that setting the timer or counter corresponding to the BWP switching time parameter can be implemented in a variety of ways, for example, resetting the timer or counter corresponding to the BWP switching time parameter, or freezing the timer or counter corresponding to the BWP switching time parameter. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0130] In actual application, the default BWP setting is determined according to the base station signaling; the activated BWP information is determined according to the base station signaling; and whether to fall back to the default BWP for communication is determined according to the state of the first timer / counter.

[0131] It should be noted that when the beam fails, the terminal can reset the timer / counter and use an agreed or configured duration or number of times to determine whether it is necessary to switch back to the default BWP. Of course, after the beam fails, the terminal can also directly freeze the timer / counter and no longer change its state, such as the duration / count will not increase, so as to achieve the effect of not falling back to the default BWP. After the beam is restored, the timer can be unfrozen.

[0132] Optionally, the status information of the beam recovery process includes one or more of the following: beam failure status, beam selection status, beam information reporting status, and control channel detection status.

[0133] In practical applications, in addition to using the beam failure status to determine the configuration of the timer / counter, the status of other steps can also be used to determine the configuration of the timer / counter. For example, selecting a new beam can trigger the reset or freeze of the timer / counter, reporting beam indication information can also trigger the reset or freeze of the timer / counter, and receiving the beam recovery response from the base station can also trigger the reset or freeze of the timer / counter. In addition, receiving the TCI or control channel reconfiguration information from the base station can trigger the reset or unfreeze of the timer / counter.

[0134] Embodiment 6

[0135] like Figure 6 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for sending information on a physical random access channel (PRACH, Physical Random Access Channel), including:

[0136] Step 601: Determine the content of information sent on the PRACH in the current time slot;

[0137] Step 602: If the information to be sent on the PRACH includes SR and beam restoration indication information, only the beam restoration indication information is sent on the PRACH.

[0138] In this way, the priority of SR and beam recovery indication when they conflict is specified, avoiding the conflict between the two.

[0139] Embodiment 7

[0140] like Figure 7 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a device for determining a beam monitoring object, including a first determining unit 701, a second determining unit 702 and a third determining unit 703, wherein:

[0143] The third determining unit 703 is configured to determine the beam monitoring reference signal set q2 according to the type of the reference signal determined by the second determining unit 702.

[0144] Optionally, the third determination unit 703 is specifically used to: if the type of the reference signal is a periodic signal, determine the beam monitoring reference signal set q2 according to q1; if the type of the reference signal is a non-periodic signal, determine q2 according to at least one of the following methods: q2 is a pre-set beam monitoring reference signal set; or, obtain quasi-co-position information of the non-periodic reference signal, and obtain the corresponding periodic reference signal set q3 based on the quasi-co-position information, and determine q2 based on q3, where q2 is a subset of q3.
